I’ve unstuck the log-jam: I just ordered my bushing tool and cleaning solutions today from Canadian supplier H & W Perrin. I don’t have a link for them because (gasp!) they don’t have a website. Instead, they sent me an honest-to-goodness *paper* catalog, just like back in the olden days.

Anyway, I’m hopeful I’ll have the materials I need to get back on track again within two or three weeks.
